# dagger

How would I use dagger-reflect with a pure kotlin module? For the android modules I have set a Dev build type where I use dagger reflect and the Debug and Release build types use the regular dagger.

You could check a Gradle property and set proper dependency, something like

if (hasProperty("daggerReflect") {
  implementation daggerReflect
} else {
  implementation daggerRegular
}

and pass property during build ./gradlew app:assemble -PdaggerReflect. You can also set this property from the AS configuration settings as default one, or set dagger-reflect as the default and not use it in the CI etc.

Thanks that worked 🙂

Hm but is there a way to check if the project that requests this is actually a release build?
Because on release builds I don't want to use dagger reflect

[wasyl]

If you want to guard against that I think the best you can use something like project.gradle.taskGraph.whenReady and check if you have any release tasks there

Hm it seems that in general kotlin-android and pure kotlin don't go well together because of the missing buildvariant concept
